Abstract

To solve the cosmological constant fine tuning problem, we investigate a (n+1)(n+1)-dimensional generalized Randall-Sundrum brane world scenario with two (n1)(n-1)-branes instead of two 3-branes. Adopting an anisotropic metric ansatz, we obtain the positive effective cosmological constant Ωeff\Omega_{eff} of order 1012410^{-124} and only require a solution 5080\simeq50-80. Meanwhile, both the visible and hidden branes are stable because their tensions are positive. Therefore, the fine tuning problem can be solved quite well. Furthermore, the Hubble parameter H1(z)H_{1}(z) as a function of redshift zz is in good agreement with cosmic chronometers dataset. The evolution of the universe naturally shifts from deceleration to acceleration. This demonstrates that the evolution of the universe is intrinsically an extra-dimensional phenomenon. It can be seen as a dynamic model of dark energy which is driven by the evolution of the extra dimensions on the brane.
